The awards was held to celebrate the stars behind the stars. According to Marie Claire, “Celebrities may be front and center when major fashion moments happen, but if you want to know who’s responsible for those trendsetting looks, go behind the scenes. That’s where you’ll find the real influencers: makeup artists, hair gurus, and stylists. Pay attention all year long (or allow us—because it’s our job), and you’ll notice the same people again and again. These are Marie Claire’s Image Makers. Learn their names, follow their careers, and copy their handiwork—if you haven’t already.”
